The freetown on the ramparts



Christiania "the Freetown" in Copenhagen (Denmark) is amply described on the Internet. In 1989 a special "Christiania Law" regulated its unique status.
Where everywhere in Denmark you see the red flag with the white cross, here in Christiania they have their own flag: Three yellow dots on red.



To most of the people it is known as a free place where it is more or less easy the get (soft) drugs. Maybe there are darker sides to this place, but it is also about, playfulness, being "green" and close to the earth and keeping this safe for the children. A space to live in a different way.



While walking along the ramparts of Christianshavn you see amazing buildings, colorful structures and creations, lots of flowers. Look at the pictures and see for your self.

I loved these next two colorful scenes, but I didn't find them this year. Both pictures were taken in 2010.

A toilet!



And yes, it is a carfree zone!
